The time was set back to ten minutes ago, which was midnight and ten minutes after the official start of the mission on June 18.
Before the thunderbolt exploded, in an unknown room on an unknown floor, the sleeping man woke up deeply, and he was also the first to wake up among all the executors who were teleported!
The man’s black clothes were extremely clean. When he woke up, he was sitting on the sofa without any stains. The moment he opened his eyes, there was no feeling of loss after a half-coma. It seemed that he was just before being teleported. Well prepared enough psychologically.
Facing the empty room, there are only some old-fashioned furniture that has been moved away. The room looks a bit empty, but it is not a mere four walls, and the thunderstorm outside the window and the flashing lightning have changed the things in the room. All illuminated.
The man put his hands on the sofa and slowly stood up. The dilapidated sofa seemed to be unable to support the weight of a living person and gave a crunching shaking.
After carefully observing the room for a long time, he finally stayed on the locked door in front of him. As long as he opened it, he could walk out of the room, but he fell into silence.
"I am the only person among all the executives who did not enter the apartment in advance except Zero, so if I walk out at this moment, what will I experience..."
This is a very difficult question. Perhaps for Xu Lang, Lou Yun, and Rong Chuan, now is the repetition of the rainy night murder case. They stay in the room and wait for death. It is better to go out to seek a breakthrough.
But for others, it seems that going out in this time period will face unknown results.
The man silently looked at the door of the room close at hand with his hands, and began to think about the development of whether to go out or not, the two choices will encounter.
He moved calmly without any urgency on his face. Instead, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at it without any messages or missed calls. He seemed to have a certain idea.
"If Xu Lang wakes up early, he will definitely inform me of entering the apartment in advance during this time. Since there is no information, it means that I may wake up earlier than others..."
Thinking of this, the man didn't think much anymore. He immediately unlocked the door and pushed the anti-theft door open. He didn't have the slightest care and prudence like walking on thin ice. It was as easy and casual as pushing the door of his own house.
There is only one thought in his mind. Judging from the situation on the phone, it is obvious that he wakes up earlier than Xu Lang, and Xu Lang is the victim of the rainy night murder case.
Xu Lang did not wake up, there is a high probability that the evil spirit will not shoot, at least it will wait until the five executors who enter the apartment in the dark night to wake up before it will kill.
In this case, the man is very sure to know that this is the safety period of the deep apartment, and it is also the safe time for him to check the apartment!
Of course, if it were Xu Lang, he would definitely not do such a bold thing, but now this man is not him, but a strict statement!
Yan Yan, I have always believed that when the success rate of a thing exceeds 60%, he can give it a go. But in the current situation, the guess of the safety period is more than 80%, so he is even more unscrupulous, at least within a period of time. He can do whatever he wants!
This is the difference between personality and acting style. After all, Yan Yan is a very confident person, and this confidence comes from his accurate judgment of things.
Therefore, Yan Yan, as the first awakened person among all the executors, had almost no hesitation at this moment, and he took the initiative to open the blocked door and walked into the deep apartment shrouded by the vast night!
Squeak...
The door lacking lubricant screamed under the impetus of manpower, making the unmanned corridor at midnight more gloomy, and behind the door came out a tall and handsome young man!
Yan Yan, the first time he walked out of the door, he pulled the door in front of him again, but out of caution, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and blocked it on the threshold, as if the room was completely closed.
And the house number on the door was also revealed in front of him at this moment, and it was written in small letters: "701"!
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared from the small window on his left, illuminating the dark promenade, and also shining on his side face. That face was so flat at the moment, he took a look at it like this.
At the same time, Yu Guang noticed a crooked symbol "O" engraved on the wall next to the door.
Yan Yan does not know the meaning of the symbol at this moment. What he knows is that he was assigned to the room of a victim in the rainy night serial murder case. He has a good memory.
In the sketchbook recorded by John, the seventh-floor "701" is indeed engraved with an "O" on the wall, and this symbol clearly represents that there is only an adult man living in room 701.
But he didn't think much about it. Now Xu Lang's information has not come. He didn't know that the evil spirits engraved on the wall of the room, which is subjectively assigning rooms to the enforcers.
Not knowing whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, Yan Yan corresponds to the symbols in the serial murder case twelve years ago...
"It turns out that I lived in a room for a rainy night victim."
After Yan Yan briefly watched, there was no change on his face, nor did he take out the flashlight, so he walked towards the corridor in the center. His steps were very brisk and leisurely, and his attitude of neither arrogance nor impetuosity was not. Like an executor who came to participate in an unsolvable task, it was more like a tourist outside of his position.
He stopped at the entrance of the corridor, looking at the big letter "7" on the side wall with gleam in his eyes, and then faced two choices, one is upward, the other is downward.
After hesitating for a moment, he chose to look down.
The spatial paradox not only tortured Xu Lang, but also made Yan Yan take heart. Since the current situation is very safe, it is better to go downstairs to see if there is an asymmetric violation in space. This is also the best The timing.
Against the background of the sound of rain, a black shadow strolling in the promenade was like walking in a leisurely courtyard, with leather shoes firmly stepping on every hard step, but this situation did not last long.
Because Yan Yan, just after walking a few steps, I saw the number on the next layer with golden light scattered, where it was written "3"...
The complexion that hadn't changed for a long time finally changed at this moment!
Yan Yan's brows were frowning, and the light in his eyes was slightly swallowed by the darkness, but it was still burning. He looked at the non-conventional digital changes in front of him inexplicably, and finally reacted after a brief loss of consciousness.
"It turns out that it's not just the fourth floor that disappeared!"
This was Yan Yan's first time, and it was also the first time that the other executors except Xu Lang noticed the most fundamental changes in Shenshen's apartment!
"In three days, the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors all disappeared..." Yan Yan condensed his eyebrows silently, this rule is not very complicated, it can be recognized almost at a glance.
Above the third floor is directly the seventh floor, but for Yu Yan Yan, if he hadn't seen the awkward number sequence on the wall, he hadn't thought about it at all.
This is the terrible part of the spatial paradox. It is difficult for people not to be affected by vision and conventional logic. When the actual numbers change, most of them will try to guess in another way of explanation.
For example, Yan Yan at this moment, he has raised his head and looked at the upper floor. For the first time, he still feels that since there are three floors missing and the number of eighteen floors must be guaranteed, the upper floor should also change.
But now he does not have the time to go upstairs to check the changes on the floor. The problem of space paradox is not the most critical for Yan Yan.
A question of burning eyebrows flooded his mind.
Looking at it now, it was the sixth floor that disappeared on June 17th yesterday, so today it should be the seventh floor on June 18th!
And the room that Yan Yan was assigned to was the closest to the seventh floor in Devouring!
Yan Yan's figure standing in place has no worries or fears. On the contrary, there is still a sneer on his face at the moment, "So, it's no wonder the newspaper didn't mention the executors' allocation of rooms in the apartment... I thought that some people would change the identity of the occupants of the room!"
"And I will be the first executor to leave the original room!"
The current situation is a great disadvantage for Yan Yan. "701" itself is the room for the victims of the rainy night murder case. It is impossible to guarantee that there will be unknown changes when assigned there, and now he feels that he can no longer stay in the first place. On the seventh floor, there will be swallowed in more than ten hours.
This forced him to "squeeze" into other people's floors.
After Yan Yan meditated for a long time, he walked into the dark corridor on the third floor. Now he has no time to return to the upper floor again. In his opinion, the first to third floor is the safest place. .
Because the devouring starts from the fourth layer and continues to move upward, if an executor is assigned to the lower three layers, it will undoubtedly avoid the result of being swallowed fundamentally.
Of course, there may be worse changes, but for Yan Yan, there are not many choices. There are two kinds of top and bottom, he can only choose the bottom to bet!
When Xu Lang wakes up, he will receive the freshest information, and perhaps things will become clearer by then.
Yan Yan's pace is still not impatient, even if he became the first executor to be threatened, but his heart is calm, every step is steady and steady. Now it has been eight minutes since he wakes up, and he is too blatant in the corridor. Running, but accidents may occur.
And he didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, only to search with the light from the small windows on both sides of the promenade on each floor.
But in the third floor, he searched every doorway, and there was no sign of human activity. This feeling made him frown, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to look at the time.
It was already half past midnight, and it stands to reason that the executors should also wake up. He didn't believe that in this case, the inhabited room would be so quiet.
Yan Yan thought for a while and headed downstairs. When he reached the top of the stairs on the second floor, his eyes narrowed a little, because he heard a very loud opening of the door as soon as he got here.
This door opened a bit irritably, and the sturdy anti-theft door fell on the wall, sending out a signal in the empty corridor.
"Someone here..."
Yan Yan frowned. He could guess that there should be a new performer assigned to the second floor, and this person was very anxious at the moment, not only creating confusion without thinking, but also shouting something shrill.
He hides his figure on the edge of the corridor, listening to the conversation on that side.
It was the voice of a girl, Lou Yun. She was talking with a person, and the voice on the other end of the phone said that she was familiar with Rong Chuan.
In the silent corridor, only the voice of their dialogue was very clear. After Yan Yan heard a few sentences, I could roughly tell that it was Rong Chuan who kept asking Lou Yun to report the room number, as if to converge...
But the more Yan Yan heard it, the frown frowned. There was only one person on Rongchuan's side, and he didn't mention a word about where he was. Even Lou Yun took the initiative to ask about it. In just a few seconds, Rongchuan asked. Has Lou Yun's room number more than three times!
For Lou Yun, one of the few wisdom people who have been preempted by fear, of course, he would not notice that something was wrong, but he knew something was wrong when he heard it. The most terrible thing was that Lou Yun was really ready to say his own. room number.
This "Rong Chuan" has gradually equated with the evil spirit in Yan Yan's ears, but as to why this is required, he does not understand the purpose of the evil spirit, but it is obviously not a good thing.
The location of Lou Yun's room was too clever. It was Yan Yan's favorite floor. He absolutely couldn't let Lou Yun, a stupid woman, reveal the room number.
So with his eyes flickering, he no longer just listened, but moved briskly in the direction of Lou Yun!
However, his methodical approach has caused extreme oppression on Lou Yun's psychology. In her heart, living people would not have such a strong psychological quality to walk in the corridor at this time.
As a result, she subconsciously regarded Yan Yan's figure hidden in the dark as evil spirits, and relied more on "Rongchuan" on the other end of the phone. The moment Yan Yan arrived, this woman even had to bring "Rongchuan". Go to the last sentence!
Yan Yan's eyes were full of indifference. If it weren't for the location of Lou Yun's room, he wouldn't want to save this woman.
Lou Yun suffered a hand knife on the back of her neck, but at the last moment of her coma, Lou Yun wanted to report her position to "Rong Chuan" on the other side of the phone.
Yan Yan looked at the woman who had fainted at his feet, and then looked at the phone that fell on her. There was no sound on the screen at all. On the contrary, it showed two missed calls that Lou Yun never picked up.
Everything just now was an illusion, the lowest level method used by the evil spirits to induce Lou Yun.
Yan Yan lifted his heels and stomped the phone with one foot, his eyes flickering at the sleeping girl beside him, and coldly said: "Idiot..." (End of this chapter)
